Mission: Sojourners is a nonpartisan, faith-based 501(c)(3) organization that offers alternative commentary on faith, politics, and culture and compelling alternatives to social justice issues. Founded in 1971, We offer a vision for faith in public life by: * publishing Sojourners magazine, SojoMail and other resources that address issues of faith, politics, and culture from a biblical perspective; * organizing, preaching, teaching, and public witness; * nurturing community by bringing together people from the various traditions and streams of the church; * hosting an annual program of voluntary service for education, ministry, and discipleship.
Programs: Sojourners magazine: sojourners magazine addresses issues of faith, politics, and culture from a biblical perspective. Sojourners magazine reaches 70,000 readers every month - educating, inspiring, and mobilizing readers to put their faith in action for social justice. Sojourners magazine won numerous awards this year, including a gold medal from the prestigious folio awards for best religious/spiritual magazine of the year. The folio awards are the largest competition in media publishing, receiving more than 2,000 entries this year in various categories.
messaging & media: sojourners (www. Sojo. Net) broadens the public dialogue in the united states regarding the intersection of faith, public life and culture. Sojourners articulates a strong moral and religious imperative behind more just and responsible policies. This is done through both national media and our own media platforms (sojourners magazine, social media, and our digital platforms), and through speaking tours and interviews of sojourners' president, jim wallis, and other staff. Our god's politics blog is among the most read christian social justice blogs. 3 million people from more than 220 countries and territories visited sojourners' website in the last year. Jim wallis and our chief church engagement officer lisa sharon harper also speak across the country and around the world. Our weekly sojomail offers analysis, news and commentary on current issues and events, and we produce a number of additional electronic and print resources for pastors and faith leaders.
mobilization/organizing policy: for 44 years, sojourners has been a connecting point for people of faith in this country and globally. Sojourners is bringing people together-even across traditional political and theological divides-to find real solutions to some of the most significant concerns of our time. Our focus on the common good and finding common ground based on shared values allows us to transcend the usual ideological debates. In fy15, our key issues included poverty and inequalities, police violence, women and girls, racial justice, war and peace, immigration reform, and the environment, among other concerns.
education resources: sojourners sells and provides educational resources through our website. All resources are mission-related. We create and distribute faith-based educational materials about poverty, the environment, racial justice, war and peace, and a range of other issues. Resources are available on our website (www. Sojo. Net).
